What is that car next to the Austin FX4?
Late 60s or seventies, convertible, chrome bumpers.
Not a Mercedes - maybe American? But the slim front bumper would suggest something European.

The Renault has different (rounded) top windscreen corners. Second series Corvair looks like the best bet.
But it seems the front bumper on the mystery car wraps around a bit more than the Corvair does.....  _________________ a car stops being fun when it becomes an investment |

| Not a corvair either look at the bonnet shut lines, on the mystery car they are closer to the front wings! |
